Abstract: A sheet metal mounting screw and method of forming the same is disclosed. The screw is formed from a single flat blank of sheet metal having a generally T-shaped head and a slotted shank or barrel. The shank, when folded, is tubular and has a seam extending along one side, with spaced resilient teeth extending outwardly from opposite sides thereof. The teeth have inclined outer edges arranged in a helical path extending lengthwise around the shank in staggered relation to one other, for engagement with either tapped or untapped openings in a support. The teeth are resilient and permit a push-in insertion of the threaded shank in the helically threaded opening. The T-shaped head is formed integrally with the shank and contains a tool-receiving slot, which permits the screw to be turned angularly in tightening or removing the screw.In forming the screw, a T-shaped blank is cut from a sheet of resilient metal. The spaced teeth are cut from the shank and are bent outwardly.
